Mineral Belt National Recreation Trail
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mineral Belt National Recreation Trail is an 11.6 mile all-season trail that loops around Leadville, Colorado and through its historic mining district. The trail's setting is quintessentially Colorado Rocky Mountain landscape. Groves of aspen, conifer forests, wildflower meadows, and open vista sage parks are interspersed with once-booming mine sites. Ever-present views of the Sawatch and Mosquito mountain ranges provide perspective and a sense of permanence to the area. Several signs along the way provide historical snippets about Leadville's colorful past. The trail is designed for bicycles, walkers, wheelchairs, strollers and in-line skaters. When the snow falls, snowcats groom the trail provide access to Nordic skiers, snowshoers and winter-bikers.
